About Dog Save the USA

Dog Save the USA exists for one reason: to make it as easy as possible for someone who wants to help a dog to actually do it.

There are thousands of shelters and rescues across the country, and most of them need help in ways that go far beyond adoption. They need money, supplies, foster homes, volunteers, transport drivers, and people willing to share a post.

This site connects you to shelters near you and shows you exactly what you can do — right now, today — to make a difference.

No account needed. No sign-up. Just a ZIP code and the will to show up.

The Domains

If you're wondering about the name — it's a play on words. "God save the USA" becomes "Dog Save the USA." Same energy, different species. Dogs have been saving us since the beginning. Maybe it's time we returned the favor.

Shelter Data

Our shelter listings come from RescueGroups.org, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides free and low-cost technology services to the animal welfare community. RescueGroups.org is an unaffiliated, volunteer-driven, non-competitive organization that works with like-minded organizations to help animal welfare organizations, volunteers, and pets.

If your shelter or rescue isn't listed, you can sign up with RescueGroups.org to be included.
